Kenya: Autopsies Reveal Missing Organs In Cult Deaths. - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!

May 10, 2023
The discovery of mass graves last month near the Indian Ocean coastal town of Malindi has stunned the deeply religious Christian-majority country in what has been dubbed the “Shakahola forest massacre”. Police believe most of the bodies belong to followers of self-styled pastor Paul Nthenge Mackenzie who is accused of ordering them to starve to death “to meet Jesus.”
While starvation appears to be the main cause of death, some of the victims — including children — were strangled, beaten, or suffocated, according to the chief government pathologist Johansen Oduor.
Court documents filed on Monday said that some of the corpses had their organs removed, with police alleging that the suspects were engaged in forced harvesting of body parts.
The Nairobi court ordered the authorities to freeze more than 20 bank accounts belonging to Odero for 30 days.
A total of 112 people have so far been confirmed dead, interior minister Kithure Kindiki said Tuesday after arriving in Malindi to supervise the resumption of exhumations, which were suspended last week because of bad weather.

The authorities in Kenya have begun releasing the remains of some of those who died in a cult which allegedly encouraged them to starve themselves to death.
Some 34 bodies out of the 429 exhumed from the remote Shakahola forest in the east of the country have been identified with the help of DNA samples from their relatives. On Tuesday, seven were handed over to three families.
Self-proclaimed Pastor Paul Nthenge Mackenzie preached an apocalyptic message that the end times were nigh. He’s accused of inciting hundreds of his followers to “fast” in order to see Jesus more quickly, something he denies.
High-school teacher Francis Wanje received four bodies, including those of his daughter, son-in-law and grandson.
He lost eight members of his family, and it was their disappearance which helped lead investigators to the discovery of mass graves in the vast forest.
Relatives were given psychological counselling from members of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). ICRC staff also supported some of them as they wailed and cried when taken to view the remains of their loved ones.

Kenya Teacher From Remote Village Wins $1m - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!

A maths and physics teacher from a secondary school in a remote village in Kenya’s Rift Valley has won the $1m Global Teacher Prize for 2019, organisers have said.
Peter Tabichi, who is giving away 80 percent of his salary to support poor students, received the prize at a ceremony on Saturday in Dubai, hosted by Hollywood star Hugh Jackman.
The Dubai-based Varkey Foundation, which organises the event and handed out the prize for the fifth time, praised Tabichi’s “dedication, hard work and passionate belief in his students’ talent”.
All this combined, it said in a statement, “has led his poorly-resource school in remote rural Kenya to emerge victorious after taking on the country’s best schools in national science competitions”.
Tabichi, 36, teaches at the Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School in Pwani village, in a remote, semi-arid part of Kenya’s Rift Valley, where drought and famine are frequent.
Around 95 percent of the school’s pupils “hail from poor families, almost a third are orphans or have only one parent, and many go without food at home,” the statement added.
“Drug abuse, teenage pregnancies, dropping out early from school, young marriages and suicide are common,” the statement read.
To get to school, some students have to walk 7km along roads that become impassable during the rainy season.
The school, with a student-teacher ratio of 58 to 1, has only one desktop computer for the pupils and poor internet, but despite that Tabichi “uses ICT in 80 percent of his lessons to engage students”, the foundation said.
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta congratulated Tabichi in a video message, saying “your story is the story of Africa, a young continent bursting with talent”.

December 1, 2020
The old Taveta Police Station, from where the first shot of the East African campaign was fired in August 1914 heralding the start of the war, requires conservation.
The important historical building has long been abandoned. Made from stones and mud, the house is now in ruins and the walls have started to peel and fall off, threatening its existence and the important history it holds.
Over the past six years, the structure has been partially destroyed and a tour to mark centenary commemorations since the end of the war on Saturday revealed a sad, dilapidated state of the building that holds an important history of the war.
Taita-Taveta Deputy Governor, Majala Mlaghui, said there was a need to protect and preserve historical sites since they can turnaround the economy of the county and the country through tourism.
She, however, said little can be done at the county level since the building is the property of the national government.

He said Odinga understood where the country was heading, and that he would therefore be at peace to hand him the leadership mantle.

The Senate has called on the Federal Government to deploy more coaches to the Abuja-Kaduna train service, to ameliorate the plight of passengers.
The resolution followed a motion by Ali Ndume, titled “urgent need to increase the number of Coaches to the Abuja-Kaduna rail line”.
The Senate said the call had become necessary following the number of people who out of fear of kidnapping, and other criminal activities, resorted to travelling by rail. It also urged the Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC to increase frequency of trips, while regulating prices, to check abuse.
Ndume noted that most passengers’ en-route Kaduna-Abuja Road had resorted to rail as a safer means of transport. He also said that the increase in the patronage of the rail services was as a result of its relative safety, comfort, convenience and affordability.
Contributing, Shehu Sani, noted that the Kaduna-Abuja railway had become the oxygen and lifeline of the people, stressing that the road had become one of the most dangerous roads in the country. In his remarks, Senate President Bukola Saraki put the resolution to a voice vote and it was adopted.
